Since announcing their partnership in early 2017, VOP CZ and NIMR’s design and engineering teams have worked quickly to bring this advanced platform to the European market, with successful trials already taking place in the presence of senior leadership from the Czech Armed Forces.
Addressing the work carried out by VOP CZ and NIMR this year, VOP General Manager, Mr. Marek Špok said, “The commitment being shown by both organisations to realise the collective vision of localising NIMR’s range of military vehicles in Europe is evident with the Ajban 440A present today at IDET.” The Ajban Class is a family of 4x4 military and security vehicles developed, designed and manufactured by the Company NIMR Automotive in United Arab Emirates. This range of vehicle provides a multipurpose platform for all military requirements at 9 tones capacity from utility vehicles to fully protected patrol vehicles. The Ajban 440A is a 4x4 logistic and utility protected vehicle with a four man cabin and cargo bed at the rear of the chassis. For its self-protection, the Ajban 440A can be fitted with a ring mount or a remotely operated weapon station armed with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. The Ajban 440A is able to carry 4 military personnel including driver and commander. The vehicle has a gross weight of 10,750 kg with a maximum payload of 1,200 kg. It can run at a maximum road speed of 110 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 700 km. |

The unveiling of the newly configured AJBAN 440A comes at a time when countries across Central and Eastern Europe are undertaking the most significant defence modernisation programmes of the past two decades, including the replacement of ageing, legacy platforms with proven military vehicle solutions. Over the coming months, VOP CZ - NIMR collaborative vehicle platforms will be featured in demonstrations across Central and Eastern Europe. This partnership provides a compelling offering to the region: combat proven technologies, localised production and in situ support in Europe.
Commenting on the collaboration, NIMR CEO, Dr. Fahad Saif Harhara said, “NIMR has already developed a strong reputation for its combat-proven vehicles that can perform in the harshest operational environments. We have now integrated our platform with VOP CZ’s world-class technology that we are confident addresses NATO member countries’ needs for a military grade fleet solution, providing greater protection and longer service-life than up-armoured commercial vehicles.” |
